DESCRIPTION

Waldo Photos is a photo finding platform empowering consumers to toss their selfie sticks, put their phones back in their pockets and live in the moment. Waldo is the only platform that removes all of the friction in getting photos of you taken by others and creates new opportunities for photographers to market and sell their photos. Users can enjoy life’s most precious events and automatically receive images taken of them right on their phones or share images of others they’ve taken without having to lift a finger – whether between friends and family or a professional photographer.

•will enjoy coding at all layers in a web application stack

•will be fluent in modern web application frameworks and design

•will understand how great UX contributes to customer acquisition and retention

•will learn whatever is necessary to get the job done

•will write clean, elegant, simple, testable code

•will be comfortable with git, pull requests, and code reviews

•will take pride in their work
